Hello everyone, today we are going to learn how to play _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ Guitar _ _
It's a quite old song.
It's like _
_ 15 years old
_ Yeah, but it's a beautiful one.
So let's go _
_ [Gb] _ _ So the first thing we need to know are the chords
_ the song is in the key of
[Bb] _ Bb
But the guitar _ which is playing the [Gb] original has been
_ tuned
half a tone down
So it's playing in the key of I mean it's playing [B] B B
But it sounds Bb
_ _ So for the sake of learning we [N] are going to
_ play it on B.
It's a half tone
_ _ Higher but _ we can make it _ _ _ _ _
_ So the chords, there are only four chords which are playing
_ the whole time
The whole time the guitar is playing the same thing [Gb] the whole time so you don't have to worry about intro
_ changes or whatsoever _
the first chord is
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ It's this B _
you can
_ _ Place it either like this or like this.
It's up to you.
I prefer this way because like it's like
Yeah, it's like how I learned it
_ _ [G] So for the B, I have B here
[B] _ _ _ _ _
F sharp or G flat.
I have another B here and I have a E flat _ _
_ _ [G] The second _ _
Chord is going to be a
[Abm] _ _
This one so A flat minor _
_ _ _ [Gb] with this finger _
this finger
_ [N] There _ is a barrel so [A] you place it
[Abm] _ _
_ and [Bb] one [Abm] two _
_ _ You have a A flat minor
_ _ The third chord is a E
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] It's one of the simplest chords on the guitar _ [B] _ and the fourth one the last [Gb] one is G flat
_ _ [G] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, so [N] those are the chords now that you have the chord we are going to see what about the rhythm what does this _ _ _
_ _ Again it's very simple.
It's the same thing the whole time _ _ _ _ _
So let's [B] go _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [F]
I'm using those four fingers one two three four _ and every finger is picking one string
so it's [B] like _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] The [B] fourth _ _ the third and the second
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ For the A flat minor
_ _ I'm [Abm] playing this way
_ So I [A] have a A [Ab] flat here
So the sixth chord and then the fourth [Dbm] _
and then [F] the third
_ [B] Sorry
The _ _ [Eb] third and the [Abm] second
_ _ _ _ [Gb] So from there I'm moving to E _ [B] is the [E] same schema _
_ _ [B] I have the sixth the fourth
_ _ _ _ The third _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ And the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ sixth again the [Ebm] fourth the [F] third and the second
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [G] _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ Yeah, so you noticed by the last one _
_ [G] Every every two round _
on the G
The guitar is playing the [Gb] whole chord.
_ I mean the last one the last string
_ _ _ _ _ There you are going to need this finger _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And it's all yeah
_ [G] It's simple as that
So there's something really cool on the song the guitar the strings [B] are not vibrating _ _
It's not like this _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's like _ _ this
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Gb] So after the chord [B] _
the [Abm] _ _ _ _ [E] string just [Gb] stops
_ And [B] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [A] _ _ how to achieve _ this
_ [B] It's simple again _
Just _ release the pressure after you have been playing the chord _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ And I raise the pressure _ I raise the chord
_ _ _ [E] _ [Abm] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ If I if I if I stayed it would be like _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ This is not cool.
[Gb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ I
Mean it's cool, but it's not the song Yeah
_ _ _ You
[Abm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Gb] Love my dreams [B] _ you take me where [Abm] I've been
_ [E] _ _ _
Yeah, [Em] so [N] this everything you need to know about the song I hope you enjoyed the video if you did _ like
_ [Gb] subscribe share and
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
See you later
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ Guitar _ _
It's a quite old song.
It's like _
_ 15 years old
_ Yeah, but it's a beautiful one.
So let's go _
_ [Gb] _ _ So the first thing we need to know are the chords
_ the song is in the key of
[Bb] _ Bb
But the guitar _ which is playing the [Gb] original has been
_ tuned
half a tone down
So it's playing in the key of I mean it's playing [B] B B
But it sounds Bb
_ _ So for the sake of learning we [N] are going to
_ play it on B.
It's a half tone
_ _ Higher but _ we can make it _ _ _ _ _
_ So the chords, there are only four chords which are playing
_ the whole time
The whole time the guitar is playing the same thing [Gb] the whole time so you don't have to worry about intro
_ changes or whatsoever _
the first chord is
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ It's this B _
you can
_ _ Place it either like this or like this.
It's up to you.
I prefer this way because like it's like
Yeah, it's like how I learned it
_ _ [G] So for the B, I have B here
[B] _ _ _ _ _
F sharp or G flat.
I have another B here and I have a E flat _ _
_ _ [G] The second _ _
Chord is going to be a
[Abm] _ _
This one so A flat minor _
_ _ _ [Gb] with this finger _
this finger
_ [N] There _ is a barrel so [A] you place it
[Abm] _ _
_ and [Bb] one [Abm] two _
_ _ You have a A flat minor
_ _ The third chord is a E
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] It's one of the simplest chords on the guitar _ [B] _ and the fourth one the last [Gb] one is G flat
_ _ [G] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, so [N] those are the chords now that you have the chord we are going to see what about the rhythm what does this _ _ _
_ _ Again it's very simple.
It's the same thing the whole time _ _ _ _ _
So let's [B] go _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [F]
I'm using those four fingers one two three four _ and every finger is picking one string
so it's [B] like _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] The [B] fourth _ _ the third and the second
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ For the A flat minor
_ _ I'm [Abm] playing this way
_ So I [A] have a A [Ab] flat here
So the sixth chord and then the fourth [Dbm] _
and then [F] the third
_ [B] Sorry
The _ _ [Eb] third and the [Abm] second
_ _ _ _ [Gb] So from there I'm moving to E _ [B] is the [E] same schema _
_ _ [B] I have the sixth the fourth
_ _ _ _ The third _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ And the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ sixth again the [Ebm] fourth the [F] third and the second

[E] _ _ _ [G] _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ Yeah, so you noticed by the last one _
_ [G] Every every two round _
on the G
The guitar is playing the [Gb] whole chord.
_ I mean the last one the last string
_ _ _ _ _ There you are going to need this finger _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And it's all yeah
_ [G] It's simple as that
So there's something really cool on the song the guitar the strings [B] are not vibrating _ _
It's not like this _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's like _ _ this
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Gb] So after the chord [B] _
the [Abm] _ _ _ _ [E] string just [Gb] stops
_ And [B] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [A] _ _ how to achieve _ this
_ [B] It's simple again _
Just _ release the pressure after you have been playing the chord _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ And I raise the pressure _ I raise the chord
_ _ _ [E] _ [Abm] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ If I if I if I stayed it would be like _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ This is not cool.
